The Bio Pool is a collaboration with Eric Blasco of ERB Gardens. This speculative biological design project is a modular system of bio-remediation of waterways using biochar as a substrate to collect, store, and remove excess and harmful microorganisms, nutrients, and minerals from waterways as a result of runoff and pollution. The first Bio Pool was installed in the Schuylkill River at Bartram’s Garden in Philadelphia through the support of the Toolkit for Wetland Grant from the Penn Program in the Environmental Humanities. It continues to be a habitat for native wetland plants and wildlife on the river.
